Brakes squeal horribly backing out of driveway each day

@ifunlisted Very true. Exactly why I'm not on any Reddit or Facebook groups is to avoid those folks. Sadly they still come here, but thankfully, this forum let's you ignore members so you don't see their "contributions".

Awe man I completely forgot you can ignore people, thanks!!

Back on topic with two updates/questions...

I contacted Toyota Brand Engagement today and I was surprised that someone (an actual person) actually answered the phone fairly quickly and she contacted my dealership while I was on the phone with her. In the end I was just told that my case would be escalated (waiting 6 months so far), so I don't know how much hope to put into that but I also learned that the dealerships are being allocated 5 repair-kit orders per week instead of just two, so hopefully that speeds things up. Has anyone here had any luck with their Brand Engagement case?

I also reached out to a couple local automotive shops to see if they could do the repair (obviously they can do it if you pay for it). One was one of the bigger brake shop chains, the other was a small toyota specialty shop. The chain shop got back to me and the guy said he needs to confirm with his manager on monday but he thinks they could do it and still have it paid for through the warranty. Has anyone else used a non-dealer shop that was able to do the repair under warranty?
